There’s a distinct difference for me in wanting Podge, Bogle and Summerfield back...all three have shown they can do it in the football league with the right coaching.

We thought summerfield was bottom, probably because he replaced Nolan who’s arguably the best midfielder we’ve had for donkeys years.

Pearson, hard worker, decent bloke and loyal but in truth not a football league player. Remember when he got caught out on the half way line at BP and literally looked like he was running in treacle with no idea how to solve the issue? He didn’t play as often as we think in that final non league season either.

For all the waxing lyrical fans did of Pearson, when he was released or allowed to move (can’t remember which) he ended up in non league...didn’t see many FLnteams queuing up for him sadly...



Slade allowed Pearson  to leave because he wanted to bring in Donkey Clarke. Pearson went to Wrexham because they offered him a deal and he could also earn money away from the club. There are quite a lot of non-league players who earn more than league players by being part-time and having other jobs. I seem to recall that when Keith Alexander came here he actually took a small drop in wages because he wanted to be a full time professional footballer under Buckley.

I'm so pleased we're not a fan run club. Our zimmer frame budget would be massive..


I quite liked the Justin Whittle, Rob Jones pairing at the back, any chance of us signing them?

Why don’t we get Gary Birtles, Steve Sherwood and Tony Rees back as well


And how about Bob Crosby too?

Bloody hell, reading this thread you would think we've got a world beating defence.

Pearson had his limitations but he would walk into our back line at any point since he left.   Yeah, there are quicker and better defenders on the ball (although I actually think he was better than a lot gave him credit for with the ball at his feet), but not in our team there isn't.

I don't think our defensive priority should be a Shaun Pearson, it should be someone with a bit of pace.  Both Waterfall and Pollock are very much from the Pearson school of defending, Pollock probably a bit more of a footballer but his lack of pace exposes him badly (especially alongside the equally slow Waterfall).    But I think Pearson is exactly the type of individual Hurst would want in his dressing room.

I thought it was blowing in the wind.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Russell Slade said as much at that infamous fans forum when a supporter asked why Shaun Pearson was allowed to leave and Slade remarked that Pearson has had to drop into the national League to get games.


oh yes Russell Slade that great tactician of modern football Team wrecker
